Activity: 6 bad, 8 good

[RichBlack]

Hey everyone. This activity idea was sparked by the thread I started (looking in the mirror). Basically, list out 6 bad things, or things you need to work on about yourself. And then 8 good things about yourself. Why the difference? Well, I think that it is important to keep perspective, so there should be more good on the list than bad. And the numbers don't really matter that much. 6 and 8 were just arbitrary numbers I picked. As long as there are more good than bad it works.

OK,, I'll play :)

6 Things Cupcake needs to work on:
1. Being honest with herself.
2. Making healthy food choices (Brownies are NOT a good breakfast, no matter how sad you are)
3. Speaking up for herself in ALL situations, not just the ones that are easy.
4. Remembering that she deserves to be treated well.
5. Focusing on her own recovery and not worrying so much about the problems of others.
6. Not letting Mr. C's issues get ahead of her real life responsibilities. (Relapse is NOT an excuse to skip the laundry for 3 weeks)
